Monster Bags

I was recently browsing through the inspirational world wide web, and, seriously, so many talented people out there! While in Halloween mode, I stumbled on these adorable monster bags by Charity Hassel. Oh, I just adore these monsters, they are my kind of scary!

Charity’s monster bags can be recreated quickly for those extra-special trick or treaters that stop by, or they can stick around longer and house all those yummy Halloween treats and toys that are only going to be around for a few more days. All you’ll need to make them are some small brown lunch sacks, patterned paper, stickers, and a small brad or two. Simple and perfect for a last minute project.

Charity shared a great tip with us too. She said “Place the brads in the monsters’ costumes before adhering monsters to gift bags – it’s much easier that way. Use foam adhesive on the monsters for extra dimension.”

Thanks for sharing, Charity! Hope you all enjoy a Happy Halloween!
